Nature of Service: Fixed Satellite Service
On November 20, 2013, Satélites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V. notified the Commission, pursuant to Section 25.137(g) of the Commission's rules, of
a planned transfer of control. Satélites Mexicanos states that its control will be transferred to Eutelsat S.A. The notification of planned transfer
was placed on Public Notice on November 22, 2013. See Public Notice, Report No. SAT-00981. The Commission did not receive any

After review, the Satellite Division has determined that the planned transfer of control of Satélites Mexicanos will not affect any of the
considerations made when the Mexican-licensed Satmex 5 (S2589), Satmex 6 (S2695), and Satmex 8 (S2873) satellites were initially granted
U.S. market access. See Protocol Concerning the Transmission and Reception of Signals from Satellites for the Provision of Direct-to-Home
Satellite Services in the United States of America and the United Mexican States, November 8, 1996. Upon receipt of notice of consummation
of the transaction, the Permitted Space Station List will be updated to provide information concerning the transfer of control.
